Whats the difference between a highway and a freeway?
A freeway has 2 or more lanes in each direction. A freeway has a median or a divider/barrier between directions. Freeways have enterance/exit ramps. Freeways have no cross traffic/traffic lights/stop signs… Interstates are always freeways with, I think, 2 exeptions. A highway is a major road with a state number. Highways often have only 1 lane/direction. Highways don’t need a barrier between directions. All freeways are highways, but not all highways are freeways. Freeways were often built to make a more efficient trip than smaller highways through towns.
